NHS Staff

Dr Richard Simpson (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many (a) doctors, (b) GPs, (c) hospital consultants, (d) junior doctors, (e) nurses, (f) allied health professionals, (g) hospital pharmacists and (h) managers there were in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2007.

Nicola Sturgeon: The following table details the information as requested. However, it should be noted that the way in which workforce information is now published has recently changed due to the assimilation of the majority of Scotland’s healthcare workforce onto Agenda for Change bandings. The non-direct match between the old Whitley Council grades and the new Agenda for Change grades has made pre and post-2007 workforce data difficult to compare accurately. Trend information should therefore be treated with caution.
